As of today, I'm finishing off the final faction description for the core rulebook; once I've done the faction special rules and the map, that'll be background pretty much complete. The main bulk of work to go is on weapon rules, fleshing out another thirty to forty careers (which will take an age), and then looking at whether the whole thing still ties together at all.
Finished weapon descriptions. And added colour coding to the above list. :P
Just the 2 handed weapons to go for weapon rules. Also been fleshing out other bits of the rules and adding basic info & clarifications that weren't there before.
So. Careers. These are taking a long time.
Done the stat boosts and career exits. Just the skill/item prerequisites and any non-stat boosts to go.
Rules for Lvl 3 careers done!
Hmm, I don't suppose there's anything that I can help you with?
Probably not currently... I should get back to work on this :/
Started on more career descriptions - level 2 and part of L3 done :)
L3 descriptions and L4 career rules complete :)

A quick message from the team, as drawn by Hannah. Burn the ungodly! :P
Awesome! :) Give her my Kudos! :gollum:
Would people like some previews? I think I should probably make some previews.
YAY!!! (Translation: Yes please)
Level 4 career descriptions done :)
So you've nearly got all of the basic stuff done. :) Awesome!
The main challenge now is going to be getting my head back round a set of mechanics that I wrote ages ago to do the remaining special rules etc, I've been focussed on background for ages so going back to maths & probabilities will be an interesting transition.
Latest side-track: designing a popular Sarpedonian board game. More to follow :P
I promise something will turn up soon. Like double pinkie promise.
Which is to say I've actually finished something and just need to polish a bit and release it.
Also GS&S is getting a devoted web area. :)
Done more polishing! Writing scripts for a regularly updating web thing is harder than I imagined. :/
Of great excitement to nobody: I'm launching this thing tomorrow.
YAY! Sorry, I have been a bit inactive. :(
Added two more pictures to the ForgeFyre site, and updated the landing page text.
Wondering if I should do more background data? Or is there still interest in me getting back to the RPG?
RPG RPG! ;D
Please? :)
The current chapter only has a couple weeks left, I'm going to take a 2 week hiatus after that after which I'm hoping to have more or less all of Ch 2 written.
I am definitely going to get back to the RPG soon though. :)
